BT has
one of the UK's widest-ranging corporate programmes of involvement in, and
support for, all forms of education, from primary school to university and,
increasingly, at home.
Communications technology can be used in all sorts of ways. A fax machine
can be a link between a child with hearing difficulties and the outside
world, a link that can raise communication and literacy skills. Audioconferencing
can bring students together to broaden their experience and expose them
to a greater variety of views. Videoconferencing can bring foreign countries
into the classroom or provide isolated student teachers with mentoring just
when they need it most - immediately after a lesson.
And then there's the Internet. Not just another way of finding things out,
not just a new way of communicating, not just another thing to do with a
computer, the Internet is all these things and much, much more. Potentially,
everyone can find out for themselves whatever they want to know about anything
or everything. |
